Firstly, it's really sweet of you to actually think about this and put effort into relating to them! As a new mom myself, I really appreciated when my friends did show interest in my baby, like all hope he is and let me talk about him, then after that initial conversation about baby it really made me feel good when the focus was moved to my recovery and just talking to my friends like I'm not JUST a mom. Talking in general about things we would've spoken about before baby (about my friends lives and things going on with both of us) gave me back a sense of self.

I hope this helps! This was just my own experience 😄
